Recover All Essential Files
How often have you had a user accidentally
delete a file that couldn’t be recovered?
Windows’ Recycle Bin and backup
systems can’t protect files such as those
deleted from network shares or from
the command line or that are too large
to fit into the Recycle Bin. Traditional
file recovery products can recover only
deleted files that are in free space and
haven’t been overwritten.

Diskeeper’s Undelete 2009 retains all
deleted files regardless of how they were
deleted. The product sends all deleted files
to a separate recovery bin and keeps them
for the specified length of time. “The principal
functionality of Undelete is to recover
a deleted file. It’s essentially a program
that captures deleted files and changes
them to a move request,” said Michael
Materie, director of product management
for Diskeeper. “Undelete allows you to do
things like capture iterations of a Word file
or things that become deleted across a
network. On a file server, the recycle bin
doesn’t actually capture the file—it’s gone.”

A variety of options streamline file
removal and recovery. For instance,
Undelete can make only certain file
types recoverable—or only files from
certain folders or computers. Materie
said, “The core of the product is capturing
and protecting the files. There’s a
variety of features that allow you to
fine-tune that. Undelete allows you to
tailor it to the type of files you want,
based on file type, location, etc.”

Prices for Undelete range from
$29.95 for Desktop Client Edition to
$499.95 for Server Edition. For more
